Automatic VRR and frame-pacing configuration for PC games
A desktop companion that detects the monitor, GPU, game frame rate, and VRR behavior, then automatically selects and applies the optimal per-game refresh rate, frame cap, V-Sync, G-Sync/FreeSync, and frame-pacing configuration. It could maintain profiles, run compatibility tests, detect stutter or latency problems, and recommend or roll back settings when driver updates change available options.
The problem
Users with high-refresh VRR monitors can experience stutter, inconsistent input latency, or poor frame pacing when running games at a lower capped frame rate such as 60 FPS. Solving it often requires manually combining monitor refresh-rate changes, V-Sync modes, G-Sync exceptions, and per-game control-panel overrides. Driver-control-panel migrations can also remove useful settings, forcing users to repeat troubleshooting for each new game.
Who feels this pain
Teams stuck doing repetitive manual work run into this often: A desktop companion that detects the monitor, GPU, game frame rate, and VRR behavior, then automatically selects and applies the optimal per-game refresh rate, frame cap, V-Sync, G-Sync/FreeSync, and frame-pacing configuration. It could maintain profiles, run compatibility tests, detect stutter or latency problems, and recommend or roll back settings when driver updates change available options.
Why it matters
Every hour spent on a task a computer could do is an hour not spent growing the business.
